Sold as singles.
Our Lightspeed blade is 3/4" OD, and can be custom cut down to 32” or not at all (40.5”). Lightspeed is the safest, fastest blade on the market for light-based fencing.
You will need an adapter piece to fit a 3/4" blade into a 1" ID hilt (standard size for most hilts on the market). If you do not have one you may purchase one from Lightspeed.
Please be aware that we do not guarantee the lifespan of any of our blades. They are durable, but not designed to last as long as thicker, heavier blades, and they will break instantly if struck hard enough. Watch your power!
LENGTH SELECTION
If you want your blades to fit exactly right in your hilt, then measure the depth of your emitter (the space at the top of your saber in which your blade will be inserted) and then add 36” for a standard competition blade length, or 34” for a dual wield blade length.
If you cannot measure your emitter depth or are otherwise unsure, just order the standard blade length of 38”. This will work for most people. Order the 36” for Tano Saber (dual wield).
USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your blades lasting as long as possible, we recommend the following:
All blades break eventually. But focusing on timing, technique, and strategy, rather than power and speed, will keep your blade lasting a long time.
Avoid attacking with a lot of power at the hands and/or hilt. 90% of blade breaks occur while striking the hilt, which is made of sturdy aluminum.
Avoid carrying or picking up your saber from the blade tip. This may stress the blade at the emitter. Always hold and carry the saber by the hilt.
We recommend wrapping the tip in clear tape and refreshing that tape periodically. Tape helps prevent the tip from flying far away once it breaks.
While not necessary, if you wish to clean your blade, gently rub steel wool onto it to take off dyes left from armor and padding.
